I joined here over a year ago, but just now getting around making my first post to say howdy. Please excuse my bad manners for being silent for so long...but I'm sure after you get to know me you'll appreciate that silence!

I'm a jarhead in my late 50s. My daddy started me out shooting with a shotgun, mostly trap, skeet and watermelons, and while I have ALWAYS had a shotgun, my interest over the years was more into rifles and handguns. Now that I am getting older, my eyesight isn't what it used to be and I'm too fat, lazy and impatient to be runnin and gunnin with tacticool youngsters, I am rediscovering and enjoying the simplicity of the shotgun. I was so happy to find this forum to help me along, especially in the area of reloading and casting my own shot and slugs. I look forward to getting to know some of ya'll better...but beware, I not only say what I think, but I also have a weird sense of humor that I ain't afraid to use.
